At this, Shah said, "I know what's happening in the party and where we are lagging. I have three survey reports with me and it is high time internal issues were settled. Calling on the state unit to stop sending conflicting signals to the cadres, Shah warned of stern action if party's interests were compromised. Eshwarappa's personal assistant Vinay has alleged there was an attempt to kidnap him and the police suspect Yeddyurappa's aide Santosh's involvement in it. You will be held responsible if party faces anytrouble in this regard," Shah said.
